They're scared of Luigi still, got it
Fucking terrified. I've never seen corpos circle their wagons like this before. It's hilarious.
That's not what the article is about. Stack Overflow has kept content that Luigi created up, but removed his username, in violation of Creative Commons. Edited the post to make that more clear.
If they weren't afraid of what he represents they wouldn't have removed his name.
Indeed, I wonder if we'll start seeing reforms before or after a copycat strikes.
I doubt before. They're still hoping they can erase or villainize him. I expect the news media will ignore his trial in favor of whatever antics Trump or Musk are up to, and we won't hear much about him until there's a guilty verdict they can parade before the masses in order to dissuade them from copying him. If he does get mentioned, they'll be trying to frame him in as negative a light as possible and downplay his motives. I also expect the big social media will censor discussion under the guise of not promoting violence, or simply shadow ban any mention of him.
Yeah exactly. And they're not allowed to under the Creative Commons licence
...and yet...
Which is exactly the reason we are in a post discussing it.
Yup, it would be interesting to see this tried in court.
May I suggest a European one?
I don't see how that would be possible, as Mangioni is American and StackOverflow/StackExchange is based in the US. The only way this makes it to European courts is if somehow the holding company that owns it (Prosus) is sued, since they're headquartered in Amsterdam, but that seems incredibly unlikely.
Idk if theyre headquartered here maybe threes something in European laws idk.
Unlikely sure but I can wish it.
Although I like the company name.
This is the equivalent of a bank robber standing in a vault, filling his bag full of jewels. One of the hostages yelling "You can't do this, it's illegal." Some other guy yells "...and yet..." minutes before police sirens can be heard outside.
I look forward to Mangiine catching wind of this, which is basically theft, and adding it to the laundry list of things to be tried in court.
No, they're terrified of us now, they know we tasted blood and are hungry for more.
I know I am. I'm so sick of this system they've created and perpetuated for decades/centuries. I just want to live my fucking life without worrying about basic needs, or how someone with most can take even more from those who have little. Americans have more guns per capita than almost anywhere else. Those are guns in the hands of the people, not mercs or armies or private security. They should be afraid of us. They should be checking their car's undercarriage daily before getting in. They should vary their routes daily to avoid patterns. They should see every person on the street as a potential assassin. Only THEN, will anything about these parasites' attitudes change.
Unfortunately, so many with the skills to engage in revolution are aligned with the interests of these corporate leeches, and thus are fighting the masses, instead of standing with them. They wanted a Civil War #2, it's time to kick up, not down!
Most gun owners are biggest bootlickers out there... They didn't get weapons to fight corporate tyranny, they got them to shoot poor people they don't like
Actually, they got them to shoot gun-wielding home invaders who threaten (if not attempt to murder) their family members.
